RadonAway makes a (GP/GP501 series) fan that essentially routes radon laden air to the outside via ducts and venting.
Radon comes up through the ground into basements and can be a problem in some parts of the US. The motors in that fan are only guaranteed for 5 years. Some last longer, some don't but when they finally bite the dust the company is not cooperative in selling you a replacement motor and if they do, it comes with a lot of strings attached like it has to be installed by a certified technician yada yada yada. Most of the time they want you to buy a new unit - about $225 to $300. Instead of chucking it and filling up a landfill with yet more plastic and other man-made materials you can just by this motor and repair it yourself. Its almost a perfect fit. The mounting studs are a wee bit short but just get some thinner washers and you should be good to go. This draws 2.0 amps and the original, according to the nameplate drew 1.4 so there's that difference as well. There is not an equipment ground (green wire) on this fan motor so I tied the green to the circular base plate. Don't forget to seal the unit back up with a silicon bead around the contact point of two outer shell pieces. The units are made to run continuous/24x7 but now we'll shut er down if we're going to be out of the house for days or weeks or if its summer and we can just keep the basement well ventilated (this will help extend the life of the new motor).

Product Suitability
Many jurisdictions and localities have codes and regulations governing sales, construction, installation, and/or use of products for certain purposes, which may vary from those in neighboring areas. While Dayton attempts to assure that its products comply with such codes, it cannot guarantee compliance, and cannot be responsible for how the product is installed or used. Before purchase and use of a product, review the product applications, and all applicable national and local codes and regulations, and be sure that the product, installation, and use will comply with them.
Dayton PSC and Shaded Pole blowers provide economical air delivery for general heating, cooling, ventilating, or component cooling. Typical applications include cooling greenhouses, blowers for wood and corn stoves, ventilating small buildings, cooling electrical enclosures and removing heat from machinery.
Additional Benefits
- Permanently Lubricated Ball-Bearings
- Extruded Aluminum Blower Frame for Increased Rigidity
- Auto-Thermal Protection
OEM Blowers
The blowers are exact replacements for many OEM blowers with the same physical footprint. Forward curve wheels driven by Dayton motors are rated for continuous duty with all-position mount. These units incorporate balanced ball or sleeve-bearing motors with cast aluminum end shields. This provides greater heat dissipation and protection, reducing down time due to component failure and accidental damage. Direct drive blower wheels are dynamically balanced to reduce noise and vibration and to maintain CFM at higher static pressures.
